Scanner will not turn on
If the scanner will not turn on when you press the front panel scanner buttons, check for
these possible problems:
●The scanner may have been unplugged. Check to see that the power cable has not
become disconnected from the scanner or unplugged from the power source.
●The scanner may be turned off. Check to see that the scanner power switch is in
the On position.
●Check to see that the TMA cable has not become disconnected from the scanner.
Scanner does not scan right away
If the scanner has not been used for a while, the scanner lamp might need to go through
a warm-up period before scanning can begin. If the scanner lamp needs to warm up, it
takes a moment after starting the software or pressing a scanner button for scanning to
begin.

After each step, start a scan to see if the buttons are working. If not, proceed with the
